That's the premise of Tau Zero, a very good novel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tau_Zero
I hear you. This is exactly the reason why I have a digital signage display rather than a Smart TV.
> Can we take this as an official statement that Nvidia supports local models? The first reply on the X thread is by Gerardo Delgado, who is "Sr. Director of Product - Local AI, Creators, Developers @NVIDIA" according…
I couldn't immediately find whether GrapheneOS grants READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE to Google Play. It might very well be that the GrapheneOS sandbox spoofs a fake IMEI, and I do hope so. In any case, my parent comment…
Even with a burner sim, there is the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, which is tied to the phone, and is known to all apps with the android.permission.READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE permission.
The outcome of this vote is not set in stone. If the situation changes, there can be another general-resolution vote to adapt to the new situation. I think the result of this vote is appropriate for the current degree…
Exactly. Just tweaking the order of suggested models for a search query could already have a huge impact on model popularity.
> AOSP has a massive amount of non-Google companies and individuals working on operating systems based on it. based on is the important part here. Yes, AOSP would survive without Google. But as long as Google is in…
That's an interesting video. If the skyscrapers were flickering just a little faster, the sky would be the color of a television tuned to a dead channel.
True, security seems to be the main reason. But while desktop linux is community driven, AOSP is controlled by Google. So long-term, GrapheneOS is at the mercy of Google, no matter what. And also in terms of security,…
> If it bears the mark, it is likely generated (or someone deliberately made it look generated). One could even say, the mark is load-bearing.
Given the context, I had to read this twice to understand that PR is not referring to Pull Request here.
Yes, I do mean the glowglobe. As they are floating right above the person, they should also protect from rain. And there was a scene where one was floating through the rain.
Can you elaborate on your setup? What harness are you using with Gemma 4 on your 32GB machine?
I live in a small apartment and do 20m using an attic antenna. Of course, I can't compete with big outdoor antennas. But from Scotland, SSB to mainland Europe and FT8 to the US or the Caribbean is not a problem. Even if…
I agree that it's a bad idea to use non-cryptographic PRNGs as defaults. I think most people are not aware of how easy it is to break them. For fun, I wrote an Android app to break LCGs and Mersenne Twisters:…
I suppose I could be ridiculed too, but there is also my `rrep` utility which still has an `-r` option: https://git.sr.ht/~asnelt/rrep It's packaged for Debian, Arch and openSUSE:…
I moved from fastmail to Runbox many years ago. The Runbox service is very reliable and all the servers are outside of the US.
Regarding support on Android, if you are using a custom rom like LineageOS without Google Play Services then it won't work currently. Unfortunately, Google implemented FIDO2 in the play services, not in AOSP:…
